[XeTeX] Kerning support

[Adam Twardoch]

Changing one or two kerning pair values in your own local copies of a 
font is trivial using
http://www.font.org/software/ttx/
(just convert the font to XML, change the values using a text editor and 
convert the font back to OTF). The license agreement for Adobe fonts 
allows that.
